Engine Repair & Rebuilding · Universal City, TX
From a warning light or oil leak to internal engine damage, our team helps you understand the problem and choose a repair path that fits the condition of your vehicle.

A CLEAR START
Tell us what you drive and what you are experiencing. We will explain the recommended next step.
Tell us about knocking, rough running, smoke, overheating, loss of power, fluid loss, or warning lights. Depending on the concern, evaluation may include scan data, pressure tests, compression or leak-down testing, and inspection.
Timing chains and related components, cylinder heads and head gaskets, valve-train concerns, oil leaks, cooling-system issues, and other repairs may be appropriate without replacing the complete engine.
We perform in-house engine rebuilding and can replace engines with used or remanufactured options. The estimate depends on inspection, machining needs, parts availability, and the extent of damage.
CAPABILITY WITH CONTEXT
These are examples of applications and repair concerns to discuss with us. Exact capability and parts requirements depend on the engine and vehicle.
Timing, lubrication, valve-train, cylinder-head, and internal engine repair concerns. Evaluation determines whether a targeted repair, rebuild, or replacement is appropriate.
Timing chains, phasers, cylinder heads, cooling concerns, and internal repairs as applicable. Each engine generation has different procedures and requirements.
Valve-train and timing concerns, cylinder-head repairs, leaks, and internal engine work based on diagnosis.
Gasoline engine diagnostics, timing-system service where applicable, cylinder-head work, oil leaks, and repair or replacement options.
Discuss your specific model and engine with our team. We assess mechanical damage and available repair, rebuild, or replacement options.
Crankshaft, connecting-rod, piston, and bearing concerns require inspection of related components and the cause of failure. Replacing a damaged part alone may not resolve the underlying problem.
OPTIONS EXPLAINED
We discuss what the inspection shows, which components are involved, and how repair, rebuilding, and replacement compare. Final scope and pricing follow the findings and your authorization.

KNOW YOUR COVERAGE
Repairs using genuine dealer or aftermarket parts carry our 1-year / 12,000-mile warranty, including fleet vehicles. Ask our team about the coverage that applies to your repair.
Used parts have separate coverage. Used or salvage-yard parts have a 6-month warranty on the part cost, with labor excluded. Used engine and transmission replacement is the exception: 6-month limited parts-and-labor coverage for internally lubricated components, under the supplying vendor’s coverage. Oil leaks are excluded from that 6-month coverage.
